John Brasilian
thanks to Cerel and Nutting for openness to discuss this, mis-communication on my part
if it had been understood at the beginning we would have accepted.
we will withdraw the appeal to the ABC
the recertifications that have taken place will go a long way to helping this re-occurring in the future
I would ask an adoption of this recommendation
